Experimental Investigation of Concrete Transverse Deformations at Relatively High Loading Rates for Interpretation of High Strength Concrete Behavior

Loading rates affect the behavior of concrete specimens from the beginning of the loading process until failure. At rather high loading rates, longitudinal deformations in concrete specimens under a compressive load are practically elastic up until the ultimate limit state. It has been previously de...

description Loading rates affect the behavior of concrete specimens from the beginning of the loading process until failure. At rather high loading rates, longitudinal deformations in concrete specimens under a compressive load are practically elastic up until the ultimate limit state. It has been previously demonstrated that transverse deformations effectively indicate high-strength concrete behavior in the entire static loading process range. A theoretical model for cylindrical concrete specimen failure under compressive load, based on a structural phenomenon, has also been proposed. The aim of the present research is experimental verification of using transverse deformations in addition to longitudinal ones for investigating high-strength concrete behavior at the non-elastic stage. This research is based on testing normal-strength concrete cylindrical specimens under compression at relatively high loading rates. The theoretical model of the cracking and failure scheme of the cylindrical specimens are experimentally confirmed. The obtained results demonstrate that it is possible to use transverse deformations for the interpretation of initiation and development of inelastic deformations in high-strength concrete up to class C90 based on the data for normal-strength concrete specimens of class C30 subjected to relatively high loading rates.
